The Smartest Way to Adapt Vintage Lenses?
I thought the Nikon ZF was the best for vintage glass, then came the ZR.? Its unique form factor breathes new life into old lenses, you do need the right adapter though to get green boxes, IBIS, autofocus? The 6 best adapters are all very expensive, and to help you pick I’ve torture-tested them in bad lighting and terrible weather. There’s one last adapter I’m trying to track down, but my time in Tokyo’s running out.
The Best Adapter for Zf Manual Focus isn’t made by Nikon?
In the ZF Nikon created arguably the best manual focus experience, so why is it so hard to find the right adapter for their own vintage lenses? With Nikon’s FTZii you lose almost all of the Zf’s special focus assist tools, and and I had to test 10 different adapter combinations til I found the best solution. Not one, but two stacked third party adapters, surely not how Nikon intended us to use the Zf? I hope I’m wrong, I have a wishlist for FTZiii, but it’s never coming out.
